Abstract

The inclusive cross sections for forward D meson production at √s = 26 Gev in π-p interactions have been measured to be: σ(π̅p→D0/D−0)XF>0 = (10.1±2.2) μb, σ(π̅p→D± + X)XF>0 = (5.7±1.6) μb . The distribution in XFfor all D and for XF > 0 has the form dσ/dXF = 107+39-37(1-XF)7.5+2.5-1.7 + 5.4+6.0-3.8(1-XF)0.71.0-0.7μb, with evidence for leading D production. The P2T distribution is exponential with slope parameter [−1.18+0.18−0.16](GeV/c)−2. The data are compared with predictions from first-order quark/gluon fusion calculations.
